But once you understand how the car will respond with various throttle inputs at the different stages of TC, you can have some fun on certain roads like on-ramps and off-ramps (with no vehicles approaching you).
The BMW engineers should be applauded for giving us the video-game like option in a $75,000 M3.  And the fact that it will rate drifts is just remarkable, hard to believe this made it past BMW's legal department.

Have you been utilizing the setting fully off for the most part on a few slides or setting 3/4? Extremely close to purchasing a vehicle without this option, I really wanted it.
